This study examined the relationship of university students’ course performance in the regular block and irregular sections taking advanced programming course and the mediating effect of motivation. The respondents of the study were information systems students who were enrolled in major subjects. The independent variable was the student’s course performance. The dependent variable was the section classification (i.e., regular block or irregular section). Motivation was included in the model to test whether it influences the variance found students’ performance as to their sections. Logistic regression was used as statistical test for course performance and sectioning. Omnibus Test of Model Coefficient and Cox & Snelll and Nagelkerke statistics were used for the coefficient of determination. The study concludes that sectioning significantly relates to academic performance and grade have a modest explanatory power to sectioning. Motivation did not influence the students’ grades. Certain factors of motivation such as intrinsic, self-efficacy for learning and test anxiety suggest a significant relationship with grade not necessarily based on the effect of sectioning.

Purpose: We aimed to determine whether head elevation during combined spinal-epidural anesthesia (CSE) and Caesarean section provided improved hemodynamicsand appropriate sensory block height. Materials and Methods: Forty-four parouswomen undergoing CSE for elective Caesarean section were randomly assigned to one of two groups: right lateral (group L) or right lateral and head elevated(group HE) position, for insertion of the block. Patients were positioned in the supine wedged position (group L) or the left lateral and head elevated position (group HE) until a block height of T5 to light touch was reached. Group HE was then turned to the supine wedged position with maintenance of head elevation until the end of surgery. Hemodynamics, including the incidence of hypotension, ephedrinedose required, and characteristics of the sensory blocks were analyzed. Results:The incidence of hypotension (16 versus 7, p=0.0035) and the required dose of ephedrine [24 (0?40) versus 0 (0?20), p<0.0001] were greater in group L comparedto group HE. In group L, the time to achieve maximal sensory block level (MSBL) was shorter (11.8±5.4 min versus 20.1±6.3 min, p<0.0001) and MSBL was also higher than in group HE [14 (T2) versus 12 (T4), p=0.0015]. Conclusion: Head elevation during CSE and Caesarean section is superior to positioning withouthead elevation in the lateral to supine position, as it is associated with a more gradual onset, appropriate block height, and improved hemodynamics.

Increasing the transfortation efficiency is very important issue in railway system. Speed-up of train and shortage of headway can be its solution. Headway can vary with blocksection length, characteristics of the railway and signalling systems. Safety braking distance needed for passenger's safety is very important factor in block section division method. In this study, basic block section division program was developed with the differential ratio of braking distance resulted by grade value of the track. More complete block section division program is going to be developed by the help of experienced experts.

In railway train operations, a braking distance between two trains must be controlled on their speeds to avoid rear end collisions. The distance is decided by some parameters such that propulsion and braking performance of trains, gradient and etc. When determining this block distance, it is important to consider the two aspects that safety insurance at train running and increase of train running frequency. In this paper, we showed a methodologies of equiblock by consideration gradients and calculated optimal block speeds on the basis of the equivalent block distance.

탄성파 트레이스 자료로부터 지구내부의 속도구조를 추정해내는 과정을 속도역산이라고 한다. 그러나 탄성파 트레이스자료가 담고 있는 정보의 주파수 대역은 제한되어 있으므로, 이것으로부터 광대역의 반사계수 수열을 구해내는 것은 쉽지가 않다. 본 연구에서는 선형 프로그래밍 처리기법을 이용하여 탄성파 트레이스의 진폭과 속도분석 자료를 적절히 결합함으로써 각 자료와 동일한 주파수 성분을 갖는 가장 단순한 형태의 속도구조를 구하고, 이것을 의속도 단면도로 도시하였다. 먼저 가상으로 설정한 모델로부터 프로그램의 효용성을 검증해 보았고 이를 토대로 우리나라 황해 제 2광구의 반사법 탄성파 자료에 적용하였다. 그리고 의속도 단면도와 이 지역에 위치한 시추공의 해석결과를 연관시켜 분석함으로써 백악기 화산암과 백악기 변성화산암의 경계를 구분하고 암상을 결정할 수 있었다.

Seismic reflection data can be used to extract information about the velocity structure of the earth. This process is called a velocity inversion of the seismic data. However, it is difficult to recover a broad band reflection coefficient series because the frequency band of seismic trace is limited. The linear programming method has been examined to find the simplest velocity model that has frequency components consistent with the usable frequencies of the seismic trace and interval velocity data. The velocity structure of the earth is displayed in pseudovelocity section. After the linear program had been tested with a synthetic seismic trace, it was applied to the seismic reflection data of the Block Ⅱ in the Yellow Sea. By comparing the pseudovelocity section with sonic logs obtained from the well in the same area, it was possible to define the lithostratigraphy and the boundaries of Cretaceous volcanics and Cretaceous metavolcanics.

Traction power is supplied by three-phase alternating current of 154 kV power grid and electric trains are operated on single phase feeding system. It becomes important to use all the three phases equally and convert them into two-phase electric power (90 degree phase rotation) for traction supply. This is achieved by special transformer from the adjacent traction substation which is separated by a neutral section. Neutral section locations are in front of the substation and between the two substations. The first stage of the Seoul-Busan high-speed railway, design curve radius is larger than 7,000 m and the greatest slope is 25‰. The railway track conditions are evaluated as good enough to install a neutral section at the first stage, but a few factors of coasting operation of the train should be considered at the second stage of Seoul-Busan high-speed railway. The neutral section was located at Kim-cheon substation, which made some neutral section problems produced by the operating train, and the neutral section was moved about 1.5 km to the south toward Dong Dae-gu station due to the track operation condition. Some of the trains which stopped at the existing Kim-cheon Gu-mi station produced another motor block failure after moving the neutral section. In this paper, power quality, system performance and track condition, etc. are suggested to solve the problems.

본 논문에서는 블록식 보강토옹벽의 현장계측을 통해 곡선부 보강영역의 변형특성을 분석하였다. 보강토공법은 설계 및 시공이 증가하여 실생활에서 쉽게 접할 수 있게 되었으나, 곡선부의 균열 및 붕괴사례가 빈번히 발생하여 안전에 대한 중요성이 대두되고 있다. 이러한 붕괴원인은 곡선부에 대한 연구 부족과 설계기준의 미흡, 경제성과 공기단축에 의한 시공성 결여, 충분하지 못한 다짐 공간 등에 있다고 할 수 있다. 이에 본 연구에서는 기존 설계 및 시공 기준을 검토하고 블록형 보강토옹벽 곡선부 사고사례를 통해 원인을 분석하였으며, 실제 시공된 블록형 보강토옹벽의 현장계측을 통해 직선부와 곡선부의 거동을 비교 분석하고 곡선부 보강영역의 변형특성을 확인하였다. 그 결과, 먼저 곡선부의 수평변위가 직선부와 비교하여 볼록형에서 최대 90%, 오목형에서 최대 60% 높게 나타났으며, 다음으로 곡선부 보강영역에서 볼록형의 경우 보강토옹벽 중심에서 수평방향으로 H/2구간에서 최대변위를 보이며 H까지의 영향범위를 나타내었으며, 오목형의 경우 중심에서 최대변위를 보이며 수평방향으로 H/4구간에서 최소변위를 확인하였다. 이러한 결과로 형태에 따른 곡선부의 영향범위와 현장적용을 위한 보강영역의 재정립이 필요하다고 판단되며, 본 연구결과가 이를 위한 기초 자료로서 활용 가능할 것으로 판단된다.

In this paper, field measurement of the Block Type Mechanically Stabilized Earth (MSE) wall curved section was performed, and the reinforced area of the curved part is studied through the result. MSE method has been applied to various fields because of easy construction and excellent economic efficiency, so that it can be easily access in our life. However due to lack of compaction and stress concentration phenomenon, cracks and collapse occur in the curve of MSE wall, which is important for safety. The cause of collapse is lack of research on curved section, lack of design criteria, lack of construction due to economical efficiency and shortening of construction period, insufficient compaction space. In this study, therefore, it was examined the existing design and construction standards, analyzed the cause through accident examples of the curved section of the Block Type MSE wall. As a result, the horizontal displacement of the curved section was 90% higher than that of the straight section and 60% higher than that of the concave section. In the case of the convex section in the curved section reinforcement region, the maximum displacement is shown in the H/2 section in the horizontal direction from the center of the MSE wall, and the range of influence from H is shown. In the case of the concave section, the maximum displacement is shown in the center, The minimum displacement was confirmed in H/4 section in the horizontal direction from the center of the MSE wall. As a basic study on the reinforcement area rehabilitation through the actual construction of block type MSE wall, the behaviors of the straight part and the curved part were compared and analyzed. And analyzed the reinforced area in order to reduce the damage of the stress concentration phenomenon and secure the safety.
